Imagine yourself gliding above the crystalline waters, feet dangling in the air, while you take in breathtaking panoramas. Welcome to Songdo Cable Car, an unmissable experience in Busan that promises an incredible adventure.
An adventure through the sky
Upon my arrival at the cable car station, I was faced with a little dilemma, the choice between two types of cabins: those with a transparent floor and those more traditional. And some of you may know, I have vertigo, like really, so logically, which cabin did I choose? Lol, yes, despite the vertigo, I went for total transparency. Vertigo or not, if I’m going to feel dizzy, might as well go all out 😅
And I’m so glad I did, highly recommend it, guaranteed sensation!
PS: Before boarding the cabin, a girl gave me a lollipop… didn’t really reassure me. Need sugar to overcome the ordeal???
The journey lasts about 10 minutes, but every moment is filled with emotions and I had a good laugh with the other passengers. As I settled into the cabin, a slight apprehension lingered within me. When the doors closed and the cable car started moving and suddenly plunged into… the void, my heart skipped a funny beat.
But quickly, my eyes focused on the transparent floor beneath my feet, and all fear gave way to wonder.
It’s beautiful. The water is a gorgeous turquoise, the view is stunning.
On one side, the city of Busan stretches as far as the eye can see, with its skyscrapers. On the other side, the majestic mountains stand proudly, offering a striking contrast to the urban landscape.
As the cable car progresses, I feel suspended between heaven and earth, swayed by the gentle rocking of the cabin.
The exchanges are the most intense moments of this crossing. Feeling the cabin cross these critical points, suspended in the void, I wasn’t feeling so brave, hahaha.
And it’s over, can’t wait to make the return trip, but now it’s time to discover the activities of Songdo.
